With the advent of the digital age, government organizations are processing increasing volumes of personal and sensitive information for their customers and other data subjects. To manage privacy risks, the public sector is expected to adhere to regulations that mandate how information is captured, managed, shared, and secured. Failure to comply with these requirements may result in fines, legal actions, and negative press.
Mitigate Data Privacy and Protection Risks
Experience Matters
At Vayle, we understand that navigating the complexities of privacy laws, data protection, and Privacy Impact Assessments (PIAs) can be challenging. We will guide you through the entire process, working toward documented, attainable and realistic recommendations.
Our lead privacy advisor for the Canadian public sector has conducted over 50 PIAs for local mandates. We support a wide range of Canadian public sector PIA requirements, including The Privacy Act, FIPPA, FOIPPA, MFIPPA, FOIP, and LA FOIP. Vayle’s cybersecurity team has extensive experience working with organizations across the public and private sectors to conduct Threat Risks Assessments (TRAs).
Our services include:
Preliminary Analysis
A pre-assessment will be conducted to determine whether your project involves the collection, use, retention, disclosure, security or disposal of personal information.
Project Analysis
We will identify and document all specific information about the project, including stakeholders, the type and manner in which personal information is being processed, secured, and disposed of.
Privacy Analysis
Our team will identify and document regulatory requirements, including potential and actual risks to privacy, risk mitigation strategies, solutions and benefits. Vayle's information security team is also available to provide Security Threat Risk Assessment (STRA) services.
PIA Report
A final report will be provided, documenting all findings and recommended solutions. Our team will provide future reviews to determine whether changes warrant a new PIA.
